Very cool catches, love the look of those F-5's, and the F-18 is always an impressive fighter to see as well. Great footage!

Love seeing F-5 content! Thank you for making my day sir!

[@MUCSpotter]

Thanks a lot mate !!!

[@fuzzball7972]

Swiss F-5s are some of the coolest F-5s out there. I have a scale model of J-3044 featured in this video! The F-18 is also a cool sight in Swiss colors.

[@spijkie1969]

What a beauties and what a reminder of my youth. I saw them a lot when these NF5's were stationed at Twenthe Airbase (Enschede the Netherlands)

[@MUCSpotter]

Yes the F5 is amazing !!! Thanks a lot !!!

[@MadeiraAirport]

Superb video mate, super powerful takeoffs, amazing planes!

Klasse Video Frank! Sehr interessant wie das Bugfahrwerk der F-5 vor dem Start verlängert wird! Und die beiden Sonderlackierten Hornets kannte ich bisher auch noch nicht! Daumen hoch ;)

[@MUCSpotter]

Dickes Dankeschön. Ja das mit dem Fahrwerk kannte ich bis jetzt auch. Ich nicht. Emmen ist immer ein Besuch wert.

@@MUCSpotter Do they fly on a daily basis?

[@Curtisluu1]

These are not F-5. These are F-20 Tiger Sharks.

[@Tigershark_3082]

​​​@@Curtisluu1 only 3 F-20 prototypes were ever built, with 2 being destroyed in crashes. The only one left is on display in the california sience center. These are upgraded F-5E-3 Tiger IIs, which are equipped with the Improved Handling Qualities Package. This changes the LERX from the W4 to the W6, replaces the original pointed nose with a rounded "shark" nose, and adds an automatic flap system.

Its interesting. The F18 was a upgraded model of the F5 you can see the similarities from the rear. Its bigger but the shape an design is similar.

[@Curtisluu1]

These are not F-5. These are F-20 Tiger Sharks.

[@quizels0695]

Fun Fact: On the swiss tigers the pitch of the nose is slightly higher than those on other f-5's allowing for an easier takeoff

[@thesnazzycomet]

@@Curtisluu1 they arent

[@MikeGolf993]

@@Curtisluu1 F20 Tigershark features a single engine and only 3 were built, the F5 has two engines.

[@Tigershark_3082]

​@@quizels0695All other F-5Es can hike the nose gear to the same height, to reduce takeoff rollout. The original F-5A and B had longer takeoff rolls, which is why they added that capability.

[@12345fowler]

Incredible to think that some of these Tigers F-5E are 40 years old.

[@bernardanderson3758]

Swiss F-18s love it

[@parmenideskim9739]

Basically, F-18 is derived from F-5. YF-17, the prototype of F-18 was designed and developed by Northrop which had produced F-5.

[@MUCSpotter]

I like the F5 a lot !! Thanks for watching my Video

[@markussantos6164]

F5 should have been continued by the US . I am sure this aircraft will be hit sell to countries which cannot afford top of the line aircraft.

[@MUCSpotter]

Yess your right !! Thanks a lot for watching my video Mark !!

[@Curtisluu1]

These are not F-5. These are F-20 Tiger Sharks.

[@NatedoGP]

@@Curtisluu1 no these are F5s. The F20 never made it to production, only prototypes were made. The F5 has the twin engine while the F20 had a single engine like an F16, that’s the easiest way to tell them apart 👍🏻

[@Tigershark_3082]

The problem with that is the F-5 platform is very much a product of its time. It wasn't really meant to be used in the long term (exceeding 30-40 years in service). They're simple lightweight fighters. Other countries have had to make major modifications to the design, to keep them useable into the 21st century.

[@merlemorrison482]

Even better would be the F20 Tigershark...

[@bmanna495]

What are those puffs of vapour coming from the top of the hornets at 3:47?

The Environmental Control System vents there. Perfectly normal.

[@ridza76]

Royal malaysian air force operated this previously

[@MUCSpotter]

Yes, and it is still an awesome fighter

[@royalcityjazz]

Interesting that the Hornets took off in dry thrust only. I guess they try to keep the noise down, and with the light load out it's no problem to get the off the ground in only dry thrust. You're going to need an awfully long strip of tarmac to get the F-5 off the ground in dry thrust haha.

[@MUCSpotter]

It is an old fighter, but very cool

[@Skyhawks1979]

I spent 4 years in a Marine Corps Hornet squadron and an additional 20 years supporting them. I never once observed a a non augmented takeoff.

[@jinchoung]

huh... is the "missile" on the left wing just a non launchable seeker head for training?

[@desertsoldier41]

I bet flying a high performance jet fighter in Switzerland is like riding your bike in culdesac....mountains for 20 minutes, then have to turn around.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Aren't the Tiger versions of the F-5's changed over to a single jet engine, one of the type in the F-18 and therefore only a single exhaust?

Now if Northrop would put them back into production with modern tech they would be a aircraft to be reckoned with. in the role of a light tactical fighter that countries with a budget would again line up to buy.

[@MUCSpotter]

Yes they will, I think they will sell a lot of them !!

[@Tigershark_3082]

The US is already doing that with the F-16. No obe wants a second-rate export fighter anymore, everyone wants F-15s, F-16s, Gripens, F-35s, Mirage 2000s, or Hornets. We've moved past the need for dedicated export fighters.

มันเป็นเครื่องบินล่องหนแน่นอนเอาส่วนที่ช่องอากาศทางเข้าออกทำเป็นทั้งเชื้อเพลิงแทนมันมีช่องสำรองอยู่ด้านหลังก่อนถึงเครื่องยนต์ก็ไปแก้ไขแบบตรงนั้น

[@มดแดง-ฃ3ข]

ทำเป็นถังเชื้อเพลิงและถูกต้องแล้วค่อยไปเก็บอาวุธไว้ส่วนกลางลำตัวแทน
